Using modifiers to create a non-destructive Syd Mead Orb
🕑 Added 2021-06-13 00:42:48 +0000 UTCHey all,
I was recently approached by a concept designer wanting information on how to create a SYD MEAD like orb, which he provided a picture of.
I spend quite a few hours trying out different techniques, and this is the workflow I settled on. This workflow is not for beginners, but it works pretty darn well. I've also included the file just in case you want to take it apart.

Great workflow! Sticking things to curved surfaces is always a pain in the butt, and this takes a lot of the pain out of the process. And produces better results; in the past, I've just intersected an object with the curved surface and called it a day, which then requires a lot of fiddling on the render side of things to make the join look good. Thanks for sharing!
